📸Thanks to Eric Munson for these beautiful photos. Particularly love the angel with wave petunia hat that greets customers by my shed door.

💞She was a gift from old high school “Diva” girlfriends, arriving when my mom passed away in 2021. I will see some of these friends when I attend my 50th (?!?!?!) class reunion in September.

Another beautiful DIY bride (Kayla, second from left), another beautiful day.

So much laughter and chatting from this group of friends as they gathered flowers. How lucky am I to be in the midst of all this joy.

🌻🌻If you love sunflowers like I do, there are 700 or so starting to bloom here at OCF.

😮I nearly lost a bunch of them to deer. One morning I noticed that all the heads in two small patches had been eaten. We didn’t realize that the batteries in our motion-censored sprinklers had gone dead.

📸 I quickly erected a Hortnova netting fence around all the existing beds, and Dave changed the batteries. He put up our trail camera which showed them eating our neighbors’ fallen apples nearby, but staying away from the sunflowers. So far so good.

✅ Note to self for 2026: 1) You can never grow enough sunflowers. 2) Change sprinkler batteries on July 1.

🌻Tip: IMO it’s great to pick them, like peonies, in the just beginning to open stage. That way you can witness their opening and get many days of enjoyment from these cheerful blooms. (See photo)

🌻 Expect to find bunches of them in our cooler in the coming days, and loads in the field for picking. Happy Labor Day weekend!

♻️♻️If you are coming to pick Flowers, you might want to bring your own container with you as I am running super low on milk jugs. If you have any containers to share, please drop them off.

♻️♻️Many Thanks to everyone who has also donated Mason Jars and used vases. This really helps me to keep my prices down. I also love the act of repurposing and getting use out of unwanted items.

Upick weddings, pure joy. Lexi with friends and family in the white dress, Becca holding a box full of flowers bound for bud vases.

DIY flowers can be a great way to go in multiple ways. Save loads of $$ while making lots of memories.

I grew this Statice Seeker from seed and it’s been super high quality and productive. Love the interesting little “white bee” on the florets. It indicates to me that it’s at peak color and should be harvested.

We add statice to every bouquet we create.

I’m partial to the baby blue because that’s a color which is hard to come by in nature and the garden.

As a dried flower, statice holds its color for well over a year. We use it on our pumpkins. You can hang it or put it into a vase (no water) to enjoy all winter long.

The seed is widely available and it’s easy to germinate in seed trays.

⭐️Here’s another amazing creation from Mother Nature: starflower scabiosa. I grow it not for the pale, average looking blooms but rather for the pod that comes afterwards.

🎳I don’t really know the origins of this pod that stops me in my tracks every time I walk by it. I’m pretty sure some talented hybridizer growers had a hand in creating it, so hats off to them. The perfect bowling-ball shape combined with the geometric pockets is just crazy.

🤪 My life would be much easier if I grew fewer varieties and stuck to the basics. But I believe that it’s the little oddities that make our bouquets special and keep my work interesting.

🎃I’ll be using these on my dried flower pumpkins in the fall. If you want to see them up close and pick some for yourself, they are located next to the butterfly magnet, annual Scabiosa. If I’m out here I’m also happy to point them out to you.

Source: several seed companies sell it—I bought seeds from Johnny’s seed company I think.

Update to my butterfly reel— Many thanks to Kirsten Schoemer Roberts for nicely pointing out that what I thought was a monarch butterfly is actually a Viceroy:

“Only as a learning opportunity- the butterflies in the video are Viceroy- they are mimics of monarchs- the line diagonally on the lower edge of the differentiates them most easily. The hosts for Viceroy are in the willow family- caterpillars are very different looking- only the butterflies are similar 🥰”
